Tag Archives: Herring Gull

Saw this fellow on my birding field trip this morning. He has got himself some sort of mollusk. According to my teacher, this is not a common seagull since it is all grey. Working on figuring out what it’s called.

Seagulls seem to have some kind of pecking order since this one had no problem knocking off his pal and the pal didn’t give up much of a fight. This happened repeatedly while I watched.

There are a large number of gulls in Peterson. Seriously, I had no idea there were so many types of gulls. In my mind, they are all just Jonathan Livingston (loved that book when I was a teen). I’m thinking this is a California gull because of the dark spot on its bill.
